Ann Henshaw • Hyperbole Designs
Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition at Nathan Phillips Square
July 11, 12th & 13th.
Little stories told with threads & beads
Though only about twelve inches high, these bits of fantastical clothing are full of hand crafted elements that Ann learned from her grandmothers and aunts as well as from the world-class seamstresses, tailors and breakdown artists that she has worked with at the Canadian Opera Company and feature film productions.
Ann has an eye for detail and colour and just as she has always been drawn to movie projects that emphasize the development of character – so too are these “garments” indeed characters in their own right.
Her whimsical sense of humour and joyful delight in beautiful handcrafted objects are evident in her art, which is truly meant to bring a smile along with a better appreciation of the meaning of “getting dressed”!
